Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and repair unfold in real ...
Medical Xpress / Flu activity is low, but experts worry about a new strain and vaccination rates
The U.S. flu season is starting slowly, and it's unclear if it will be as bad as last winter's, but some health experts are worried as U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data posted Friday shows a new version ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer cells have backup metabolic pathway to keep building DNA when blocked, study finds
Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a surprising link between a tiny cellular engine and the way cancer cells build the DNA they need to proliferate, according to a new study published in Molecular Cell.
Phys.org / From light to logic: First complete logic gate achieved in soft material using light alone
Researchers from McMaster University and the University of Pittsburgh have created the first functionally complete logic gate—a NAND gate (short for "NOT AND")—in a soft material using only beams of visible light. The ...
Phys.org / Choking during sex is common among young adults, but the risks are poorly understood
Choking during sex has moved from the margins to the mainstream for many young adults, but the risks have not changed. New research shows how common the practice has become, and how confused many people are about what makes ...
